25 for 2025 - Achievement Fatigue?
When you’re working on a long-term project, it can begin to feel as if you’re pushing a giant boulder up a steep hill.
I call this achievement fatigue. I don’t know if that’s a real phrase I’ve heard somewhere or if I just came up with it, but it definitely applies.
Sometimes when you’re working the same project day after day, you start to feel as if it will never be completed. That’s usually when you falter and may think about quitting.
Hang in there. Hold fast to the visualization of the end of the project—the culmination—the point when it’s over, and you’ve done it!
That’s persistence and that’s what it takes to achieve anything worthwhile which brings me to…
MARCH UPDATE OF 25 FOR 2025
I’ve accomplished a lot this month by consistently working on my big projects—new book covers, new file formats, editing older books, writing the new book, and other writing-related tasks that many of you may not relate to.
When that “achievement fatigue” began to hit me, I knew it was time to shake things up so I broke my day into two—before noon and after lunch.
This change-up works for me because while I’m working in the yard, my brain is busy with the plot, characters, and upcoming scenes in the book I’m writing. Plus, I get some much needed physical activity.
Because I’m thinking about my work in progress, I’m ready to get started when I hit the office.
HAVE A PLAN WHEN FATIGUE HITS
I think many of us try to push past “achievement fatigue” and keep our noses firmly on the grindstone, but that can be counter-productive. In fact, our malaise may continue to grow until we hit the wall and just want to quit.
Plan for that. Know what you’re going to do when you reach the point that you just don’t want to do it a minute longer.
